    Hi Everyone! Caroline here from SewCaroline.com. My blog is full of sewing, DIYs, and all kinds of other fun things. I have a H-U-G-E passion for handmade fashion and am delighted to be over here today to share with you just that!

    Aren’t polka dots just about the cutest things you’ve ever seen? I love them. I love big ones, small ones, abstract + uneven ones.. I just love all kinds of polka dots! SO when Melissa asked me to post about polka dots for this series, I couldn’t wait to say yes! I thought really hard about what to post about before I decided on sharing how to wear polka dots as an adult… they aren’t just for kids, ya know!!

    SO, I purchased some Nani Iro Double Gauze fabric and decided on the April Rhodes Peplum Party Dress for the pattern.

    www.SewCaroline.com // April Rhodes Peplum Party Dress www.SewCaroline.com // April Rhodes Peplum Party Dress www.SewCaroline.com // April Rhodes Peplum Party Dress www.SewCaroline.com // April Rhodes Peplum Party DressI love how the polka dots are playful, yet sophisticated when mixed with this lovely ands versatile pattern!

    How do YOU wear polka dots?

    I’d love for you to stop by and visit me on my blog where you can find sewing patterns, DIYs, and a sneak peak at my new fabric line!
